Great News!! NOT! Go Fund Me isn't just for our ridiculously inadequate health system - now it is used to procure necessary curriculum resources for public schools
The solution of the #billionaires for unaffordable #education and medical treatment: hallucinating "#AI" #doctors and #teachers for the masses, humans for them.
I bet none of them will ever let an "#AI doctor" loose on their bodies, or an "#AI teacher" on the minds of their #children.

THE RESISTANCE…
In the once-United States, the predicted Trump era brain drain has started as academics move to where their talents are needed. We might soon see scientists and technical people follow them as attacks by the regime continue and their work prospects diminish. Already, a French university has opened its doors to US refugee scientists.
This is a reversal of the brain drain of the 1960s when scientists and techs quit the UK for the US.
It is like the regime sees how a less-educated population would be easier to control. The losers are US education and innovation. The winners are those nations who take in the skilled people with no future in the US.

#Trump issued an #ExecutiveOrder Thurs evening promising to eliminate “corrosive” & “divisive narratives” from the #Smithsonian’s museums & restore “monuments, memorials, statues, markers” removed over the past 5 yrs.
The “Restoring Truth & Sanity to #AmericanHistory” order directs #JDVance to eliminate what he finds “improper” from the Smithsonian Institution, including its #museums, #education & #research centers, & the National Zoo to remove “anti-American ideology.”

Interview: "Erasing History: How Fascism Works"
How Trump's second term could mean "the completion of the American fascist state."
Key to spreading fascism quickly is to attack a central pillar of democracy: education.
This includes attacking crucial parts of the US education system, eg, critical race theory, Black history & now the sanctity of free speech.

#Mainers call on legislature to fund #education and more by raising taxes on #wealthy
by Channa Steinmetz, March 27, 2025
"As the #Trump Administration continues its efforts to fund huge #billionaire tax cuts by raising the cost of living and making it harder for Americans to access health care, housing, food assistance and education, Mainers, including some with very high incomes, are calling for the state’s wealthiest residents to pay what they truly owe our state.
"#LD1089, 'An Act to Permanently Fund 55 Percent of the State’s Share of Education by Establishing a Tax on Incomes of More than $1,000,000,' would add a 4% income tax surcharge on the fewer than 1% of Mainers whose incomes are above $1 million to fund Maine’s public schools. Currently, #millionaires pay the same percentage of their income in taxes as someone who makes $61,000 – leaving more than $100 million a year (the amount this tax would raise) on the table.
"Bill sponsor Rep. Cheryl Golek (D-Harpswell) said that while the bill would benefit many Mainers, 'adding a modest surcharge has no impact on millionaires.'
"#LD1047, 'An Act to Impose an Additional Tax on Certain Unearned Income', adds a 4% surcharge on capital gains above $250,000 for an individual or $500,000 for a couple filing jointly.
"Since #InvestmentIncome is often taxed at a lower rate than wages, and people with more wealth tend to get more of their income from investments (such as stocks or real estate), this bill helps to address the disparity in tax rates between people with more and less wealth. It would affect only the wealthiest investors, not middle-class families selling homes or withdrawing retirement savings, while raising over $100 million to support #schools, #infrastructure, and community services, said bill sponsor Rep. Grayson Lookner (D-Portland).
"Lucas St. Clair, an immensely wealthy Falmouth resident best known for his work on the Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument, testified in favor of both bills. He said that people with money, like his family, should pay more in taxes: 'We care about the future of this state. The inequitable tax structure of today…undermines the overall health of our communities. The wealthy should pay our fair share in taxes. Period.' He also spoke about the results of fairer tax policies: 'Fair tax policies allow more money to stay in communities, ensuring greater investment in public schools, infrastructure, and services like child care and health care.'
"Gorham child care provider Charlotte Jacobs of Scarborough testified in person in favor of both tax bills, saying that Maine’s continued failure to fully fund universal Pre-K and other essential services is a direct consequence of an unbalanced tax system."
